Bruno Fernandes has bridged the intense rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool to send Diogo Jota a message after Portugal moved a step closer to the World Cup on Thursday night. Jota was on target for his country during an important 3-1 victory against Turkey.
Otavio and Portugal substitute Matheus Nunes also scored at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto, booking a meeting with North Macedonia after their heroic win over Euro 2020 winners Italy. The winner of that play-off showdown is set to appear at the 2022 finals in Qatar.
Fernandes was joined in the Portugal team by his United teammates Diogo Dalot and Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo captained the XI - but it was Jota who took centre stage.
